Cowboys Nation may be through with Randy Gregory, but the mother of his child still has his back.

After the NFL announced Thursday the troubled defensive end would face at least a one-year suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy for a third time, Gregory’s girlfriend, Nancy Rodriguez, with whom he shares a 3-month-old daughter, took to social media to defend him.

“You’re not perfect and you have your flaws but you don’t deserve half of the things people say about you,” Rodriguez posted, according to TMZ. “You’re the father of my child and I will not let the media and fans tear you down.

“You don’t deserve the hate you receive. You’re an amazing human being and I know you have it in you to be an athlete you strive to be on a daily basis.”

Gregory’s short career in the NFL has been pocked with issues since he was drafted by Dallas in 2015. Gregory served a four-game ban at the start of the 2016 following his first violation of the NFL’s drug policy. He entered a treatment facility in July. The 24-year-old was suspended for 10 additional games, and was unable to play until Weeks 16 and 17 of the season.

Gregory’s year-long ban stems from a drug test he reportedly failed last fall. His NFL future is in jeopardy.

“God gives us his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and I know you got this one,” Rodriguez wrote.

Gregory’s Cowboys teammates have a playoff bye before a NFC Divisional game against a to-be-determined foe (the Giants?) on Jan. 15.
